University research project

Two financial elements are generally involved in funding university research projects. Direct Costs involve payments for the actual out-of-pocket and operating expenses of the sponsored research project. The salary of scientists and technicians, cost of research materials, and related travel (by investigators), are examples of Direct Costs. 

A. Patents and applications on inventions made in the course of corporate sponsored university research projects. 

The most honorable task of university research projects is to promote the career of young scientists. In the following we concentrate on two measurements of career promotions, namely the number of dissertations which have been finished and the number of professorships which have been taken by young researchers of IMPROVE. There are numerous young scientists who have gone to industry and have reached highly-respected positions there. They are not further mentioned in this section, which only deals with academic success. 

Years ago in a university research project, my students and 1 validated the popular slogan, "litter begets litter." In other words, we showed empirically that planting litter in commercial settings led to more littering behavior (Geller et al., 1977). These research findings...

Durihg recent years a considerable amount of re-.search has been undertaken to understand what in the makeup of a polymer affects the processability. In the late 1980s, the Rubber Manufacturers Association in the United States undertook a research project with the Department of Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron to evaluate the laboratory equipment available using specially made butadiene-acrylonitrile polymers with different acrylonitrile levels, molecular weights, and molecular weight distributions. The results from the study confirmed that, from the processing variables viewpoint, the major factors are frequency (shear rate), temperature (temperature), and deformation (strain). 

CAPOW (Cellular Automata Electric Power) began as a research project headed by Rudy Rucker at San Jose State University, CAPOW runs under windows 95/98/NT and contains a powerful. set of viaanalization tools for studying many different kinds of continuous-valued cellular automata. While designed initially for simulating the flow of electricity in a powergrid, it can be used to simulate a very large set of one-dimensional and two-dimensional cellular automata.

This research project was financially supported by the BMBE We are most indebted to Prof. Dr. H.-L. Schmidt, Technical University of Munich, for the measurement of stable isotope ratios and his advice and comments. Text edited by Siew Eiselt. 

The overall system that we will analyze comprises the unbleached Kraft pulp line, chemicals and energy recovery zones of a specific paper mill (Melville and Williams, 1977). We will employ a somewhat simplified but still realistic representation of the plant, originally developed in a series of research projects at Purdue University (Adler and Goodson, 1972 Foster et al., 1973 Melville and Williams, 1977). The records of simulated operation data, used to support the application of our learning architecture, were generated by a reimplementation, with only minor changes, of steady-state models (for each individual module and the system as a... 

This is said to be UK s largest collaborative research project on miniaturized chemistry, mainly concerning the use of chip technology. Members are universities, vendors and user companies (see also [45]). The consortium initiates a large, multidisciplinary collaboration, which combines academic excellence, user steering, and manufacturer input. 

A joint research project between Lummus Technology and the Delft University of Technology led to the discovery of a new mesoporous material, named TUD-1 (8). TUD-1 is a three-dimensional amorphous structure of random, intercoimecting pores. The original emphasis was on the silica version, which has since been extended to about 20 chemical variants (e.g., Al, Al-Si, Ti-Si, etc.). 

Second, partnerships between materials developers and end users must be facilitated and encouraged. In some cases, this step may mean an R D consortium between university researchers, a chemical or materials company, and a product manufacturer. The National Institute of Standards and Technology s Advanced Technology Program (NIST ATP) is a good model that should be expanded. Several projects that have been funded are examples of this integration of research-development-commercialization by universities, a materials supplier, and an end-user product manufacturer.
